In need of guidance please,

 

Recently bought a 2010, 1.8 vsi Estate. 

Drove fine when viewing, without really putting foot down.

Bought it. Private. Within 4 hours light came on, and chugged.

 

Misfire on 3 +4, with 2 random misfire warnings.

 

Changed plugs and coils to 3 and 4, ran lovely. 

 

Oil light came on, topped it up and on tge drive back code came up for cylinder 4 again. 

 

Any suggestions other than taking it back?

id be bringing it back and asking a lot of questions..

mostly about where is my money...

You brought it private, no comebacks there.

 

It's not impossible that there were no issues before it was sold.

Had a similar problem on my MK2 VRS, it was the injectors at fault - spewing fuel into the cylinder and causing a misfire.

 

I got the 3 cyl misfire and 1 random misfire codes 

Doesn't sound good I'm afraid. Oil light and cylinder fouling are the disappointingly familiar tale of those gen 2 ea888 engines with failed piston scraper rings and it only gets worse. Unfortunately.

 

Can be fixed but pricey.
